Someone posted to this thread that they would like a tutorial in English. I thought I would give it a try.
When I stacked them, I placed them on my cutting board and used the lines to place them at 1/2" intervals.
I tried to place the top fold of the stack as close to the center of the background as possible.
Thanks QuiltnNan for the tip.

Could a person do this smaller say like with a 4 1/2" square and if so, then how big would the foundation piece need to be?

OH...my dearest MIL did the same thing - and it looked SO HARD. This is certainly a star to reach for.

THANKS !!

Oh Wow!!! Thanks for the tutorial. I saw this before and thought I'd never be able to do it. Now that I've seen this I believe I can. Yours looks beautiful. Thanks again, and again.

I too was wondering if you could use say charm packs for this.

I would love to see pictures of everyones flowers. This is a great project. And I can't wait to start on mine. Thank-You so much for this project. You did a excellent job showing how this is done.

I learned to make a folded star Christmas ornament a couple of years ago that is a lot like this idea except you pin the fabrics onto a Styrofoam ball with dozens of pins. The ball is a special high density one so it can handle all the pins without falling apart.
